FORMER GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE, AKINWUMI AMBODE IN LINE TO REPLACE LATE BAYO OSINOWO

Mr Akinwunmi Ambode may be about to return to political accounts in the state of Lagos

He was considered one of the likely alternatives in the National Assembly to Late Senator Bayo Oshinowo

Recent political events in Lagos suggest that Ambode has made peace with the state’s Party leaders

Silent agitations for the appointment of Late Senator Bayo Oshinowo have begun.

The former majority leader in the House of Assembly died after a short disease suspected to be the novel COVID-19 at the age of 64.

So, his sudden death created a vacuum in the National Assembly’s upper chamber.

Although the process for his replacement has not begun, names of possible replacement are already flying as its likely within the ruling All Progressive Congress with five people already tipped.

They include Dr Tola Kasali, a two time state commissioner, the immediate past governor, Mr Akinwumi Ambode, the Predecessor of Senator Oshinowo, Gbenga Ashafa, Jimi Benson, Member of the House of Representatives and Mr Abike Dabiri, current Diaspora Commission Director General of Nigeria.
